Miss Manners: Secure, confident spouse forbids wife to sit by anyone else
There are two primary duties that married couples — and, arguably, dating couples — have that supersede their 'duty' to the host of a gathering: protection of and fidelity to their spouse, neither of which is served by splitting couples up. Parties are often not safe in either respect, especially when alcohol is involved.

Woman Says Her Mother-in-Law Is 'Ruining' Her New Home by Moving in Just Months After She Got Married
"At this point it's taking away from our life and a chance to start a potential family," she writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A newly-married woman says her mother-in-law is "ruining" her home and marriage after moving in with her and her husband In a post on Reddit, the woman writes about her husband's mother's "hoarding" tendencies Now, she is at a crossroads about whether to continue her marriageA 23-year-old woman says her mother-in-law is "ruining" her home — and her marriage — after moving in with her and her husband. In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that she and her husband have only been married for a few months and had just moved into a new home when he invited his mother to move in with them. "At this point it's taking away from our life and a chance to start a potential family," she writes, adding that her husband was raised solely by his mom and the two are very close. The woman writes that their home is a four-bedroom, with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. "We agreed to give MIL the downstairs rooms and the patio. So she has two rooms, then upstairs it's our kitchen, living room, then me and my husband's room and my husband's office," she writes. "I thought [we would] at least we will have our own level basically. I was wrong." She continues: "When we moved in, husband refused to buy much furniture being that MIL has a bunch of belongings, like almost hoarder level. The entire kitchen is full of her many Knick knacks and every possible type of dish/container you can think of... she has her items in almost every single space in the home, including my husband's office, despite her having two bedrooms downstairs and a big patio." The woman adds that her mother-in-law often uses her and her husband's balcony, rather than her own patio, which is twice the size. To make matters worse, the mother-in-law has now asked her long-term boyfriend to move in, too. "I just don't know how I'm going to go on in this relationship for long-term if this keeps happening," she writes. "We've been trying for a baby and at this point before that even happens I need to make sure that she's going to eventually leave and get her own place."

I'd go back to my parents house and stay there until he pulls his head out or you find a good lawyer for divorce/annulment." Adds another Reddit commenter: "Oh honey, you are just a baby. You are way too young to be dealing with crap like this. You need to leave, like yesterday." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Ohio landowners can get paid to restore native grasslands
COLUMBUS — Millions in new funding is available for Ohio landowners who want to create grassland habitats that support native wildlife. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has $9 million in grants for landowners interested in restoring grasslands for species like the northern bobwhite quail and other grassland-nesting birds, according to a community announcement. The program is designed to help reverse population declines in grassland birds, which have suffered from habitat loss across Ohio and the nation. Grant awards are available for both cropland and non-cropland, and landowners can receive funding on a per-acre basis or by the number of projects. Contract agreements are planned to last from one to four years. The Division of Wildlife and the National Bobwhite and Grasslands Initiative Foundation are partnering to provide free, hands-on technical assistance to landowners. Interested participants are encouraged to contact a wildlife management consultant to start planning conservation efforts with expert guidance. 'This grassland habitat program is a win-win for landowners and wildlife,' John Kaiser, private lands program manager for ODNR Division of Wildlife, said in the announcement. 'Healthy native grasslands support pollinators, improve soil health and create vital cover for birds and other wildlife. With the right guidance and support, landowners can make a big difference.' The program is expected to evaluate long-term impacts on habitat improvements, bird populations and broader social and economic benefits, according to the announcement. Projects are customized to align with each landowner's goals, such as improving soil health, increasing recreation value, supporting livestock or enriching wildlife diversity. 'This partnership is more than just funding; it's about bringing together people who care about working lands, biodiversity, and long-term stewardship,' Matt Gardner, state regional Conservation Partnership Program coordinator for the National Bobwhite and Grasslands Initiative Foundation, said. Funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service's Regional Conservation Partnership Program as part of a multi-state initiative to restore native grasslands.
